#SuperCoders Sandra James – Orange Group pan-European workshops on coding for children

2 Our participation in EU Coding Week gave us the opportunity to do more to encourage kids to get the most out of the internet our approach to a safer internet for children consists of –offering tools to support parenting in a digital environment (parental controls, cost management solutions etc) –developing awareness and empowerment programmes for parents & schoolchildren moving from “Less Internet” to “Better Internet" –by shifting the focus from “child protection” alone, to a more positive experience of the internet in a safe and responsible environment coding initiatives contribute to a positive experience for children –awareness, literacy, education –creation, co-creation –sharing, engagement, self-confidence –fun

interne Orange7 in just a few hours, children in small teams were able to create projects going from simple animations to multiplayer games game. The character needs to reach the top of the glacier without being burned by the breath of the dragon http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/29369268 http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/29377964/ multi-player game.
